A letter of request for Authorization to Construct was received October 11, 2006, by the

to be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of modifications to the
existing 6.7 MGD Wastewater Treatment Plant, with discharge of treated wastewater into
Aberdeen Creek in the Lumber River Basin.
This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted capacity and is awarded
for the construction of the following specific modifications:
Construction of a new 20,000 gallon lime feed storage tank, containment wall,
lime feed pumping system, and lime feed piping to the second stage aeration
basin, in conformity with the project plans, specifications, and other supporting

Natural Resources.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NCO037508 issued May 13, 2005, and shall be subject to revocation unless

The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance
with G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may
be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater
treatment or disposal facilities.
